Just a reminder to anyone reading - in the past Mario has not paid out winnings because lottery corporations have deemed his activities to disqualify him from winning. The members of Mario's group were then party to a lawsuit which tried to force the lottery corporations to pay those winnings. To date, it is not public if the members of that group have seen a payout, or if they were simply out of luck. In the past Mario has made the dubious claim that he gains no benefit from selling to members of these lottery groups - a claim which is difficult to believe. Buyer beware.

Mario had one of his "groups" hit a winning ticket. When he went to redeem it, the lottery said that he was ineligible to claim prizes due to some...less than savory behaviour. After months of "legal battles" with the lottery, he has yet to reveal what the outcome was. Yet he keeps trying to sell his services here.

More importantly when you google him, Beyond is one of the first pages you see, so this very message I am typing right now is likely to be seen by someone exploring one of these silly lottery groups. Which is hilarious to me.

@rage2 can someone ban him? I don't think he posts anywhere else, and IMO this isn't exactly a positive/relevant contribution to the forum

Why bother? I suspect the issue is about to work itself out quite naturally with the recent strategy Buster is employing.
